    The individual who feels lost and insecure is able to find within the group everything they feel is missing in their life.

    It hardly matters whether the group is a church or a hate-group.

    Either will suffice.
    I was listening to some American commentators who said that UK, or rather England here, was officially very Christian (my own County has no established Church) but in reality had a very small number of believers, whereas the US was officially non-religious but actually powerfully organised into churches. On the other hand, they pointed out, the UK Christians were very serious about trying to act as Jesus recommended, whereas the American 'Christians' were concerned only with appearances.

    Interesting.

    We definitely have a lot of superfluous Christians here. I'm not a fan of Christianity, so it all appears to be quite false to me. I see all these people go to church each week, but they don't seem to get the message to live as the Bible tells them to live. They keep doing immoral things. And they definitely do not do what their Bible tells them to. Some 'Christian' churches even worship wealth.
